Enabling WebGL makes you a lot more fingerprintable than having it disabled. See e.g. How gullible are web measurement tools? A case study analysing and strengthening OpenWPM’s reliability. B. Krumnow, H. Jonker and S. Karsch. In Proc. 18th International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT’22). ACM, pp. 171–186, 2022. (Table 3).
